What the care home does well Hollin Bank House presents as a caring and friendly home and residents appeared relaxed and comfortable with the staff. It was evident through interviews, general observations and discussions that staff had a good knowledge of the residents` individual care needs and the level of support required. During our visit staff were observed spending time with residents, either on an individual basis or within a group. Care was seen to be given in a discreet, sensitive manner and staff were patient in their approach. Feedback from residents was good; "Staff are very good.They really look after us" "Don`t want for anything" "they are always helpful and available to see to anything you need doing and nothing is too much bother". Prior to admission the manager assesses residents` health and social needs. Information collected is then used to form the basis for the plan of care. Assessment documentation seen had been completed to a good standard and included key areas regarding the residents` health and general well being. Care files were organised, the information easy to read and identified the relevant care and support required. The home has an experienced and enthusiastic team of staff who work well together and enjoy taking part in training and development sessions. The staff are motivated and keen to ensure that residents receive high standards of care. The manager was experienced in working in care homes and ran the home well. He made sure he checked out staff before they started working at the home and gave them training and support to make sure they did the job to the best of their ability. The manager communicates a clear sense of direction, is able to evidence a sound understanding and application of good practice, particularly in relation to continuous improvement, staff training, resident satisfaction and quality assurance. What has improved since the last inspection? All of the requirements made at the last key inspection have been met. Record keeping in respect of medicines received into the home and administered to residents has improved a lot. Overall, we found that most medicines were stored, recorded and administered correctly The manager can now demonstrate more clearly to us the care provided at the home. Care plans are well ordered and easy to read. This makes it a lot easier for staff to keep up to date with residents` changing needs. Particular attention is paid to risk assessments which are reviewed and updated and the action needed to address the risks, are transferred to each person`s care plan. A newly appointed activities co-ordinator has developed activities in line with people`s preferences both inside and outside the home. What the care home could do better: When a resident is assessed as requiring bedside rails the appropriate bumpers must be fitted to avoid the risk of becoming trapped.The manager must ensure that an appropriate metal cupboard fixed to the wall is available in the medicine room. This will ensure that controlled drugs are safely stored. The manager should consider improving the signage on bathroom and toilet doors to help residents. Screening must be provided in all of the shared bedroom accommodation. This will ensure that residents` privacy and dignity is maintained whilst receiving personal care The owner has a good understanding of the areas in which the home could further improve. Planning was in place and set out how these improvements are to be resourced and managed.

The quality rating for this care home is: Our judgement for each outcome: two star good service Choice of home Health and personal care Daily life and social activities Complaints and protection Environment Staffing Management and administration peterchart Poor Adequate Good Excellent How we did our inspection: We (the Care Quality Commission) undertook a key inspection, which included an unannounced visit to the home. The staff at the home did not know the visit was going to take place. The previous key Inspection took place on the 19th May 2009. We also undertook a Random visit in August 2009 to see whether or not the procedures for handling medicines had improved since the last inspection Some weeks before our planned visit the manager was asked to fill in a questionnaire, called an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA), telling us what they thought they did well, what they need to do better and what they have improved upon. This helps us to determine if the management of the home see the service they provide the same way that we do. We felt this form was filled in honestly and that a lot of time and effort had been given to filling it in. Where appropriate, the comments have been included in the report. Care Homes for Older People Page 6 of 27 We spent 5 hours at the home over one day. During this time, we looked at care and medicine records to ensure that health and care needs were met and also studied how information was given to people before they decided to move into the home. A tour of the building was undertaken and time was spent looking at records regarding safety in the home. We also examined files that contained information about how the staff were recruited for their jobs, as well as records about staff training. We spent time speaking to six residents as well as speaking to three staff, the deputy manager and the owner. We have not received any complaints about the service since our last inspection but, in discussion with the owner, issues of concern that have been raised with the manager have been recorded and details of how these matters had been resolved were examined.

They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them and the support they need. People who stay at the home only for intermediate care, have a clear assessment that includes a plan on what they hope for and want to achieve when they return home. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, or people close to them, have been able to visit the home and have got full, clear, accurate and up to date information about the home. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between them and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People are assessed before they are admitted to the home and this gives an assurance to everybody, that a person is only admitted if the home can meet their needs Evidence: Admissions are not made to the home until a full needs assessment has been undertaken. Care files contain relevant paperwork, including social work assessments and reports from health care professionals prior to a person choosing to stay at the home. The manager also carries out an assessment, which includes a visit to see the person in his or her own home or while in hospital. These measures ensure that admissions to the home only take place if the service is confident staff have the skills and ability and qualifications to meet the assessed needs of the prospective resident. Standard 6 does not apply. The home does not provide Intermediate Care. Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 27 Health and personal care These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s health, personal and social care needs are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. If they take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it, in a safe way. People’s right to privacy is respected and the support they get from staff is given in a way that maintains their dignity. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Residents health and personal care needs are being met and are addressed in detailed care plans. Evidence: Individual records are kept for each resident and contain comprehensive information relating to all aspects of health, personal and social care needs of the residents. From this information an individual plan of care is drawn up with the involvement of the resident or their relative to ensure that the care needs are met. Risk assessments were in place and covered such areas as moving and handling, nutrition, pressure sores, the use of bed rails and falls. Risk assessments and the care plans were evaluated as and when required but at least on a monthly basis. The residents were weighed in accordance with their nutritional risk assessment but at least on a monthly basis and the weight recorded on a chart kept in their care plan. Since the previous main inspection and a random inspection including a pharmacists inspection of medication, medication practices and procedures had improved. Accurate Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 27 Evidence: records were now being kept of medication coming into the home so there was a clearer audit trail of all medication. Also some of the advice given by the pharmacist inspector regarding record keeping was now being followed. Although there were no Controlled drugs in the home the manager is required to provide a fixed metal cupboard for the safe storage of Controlled medicines. We were also told that all staff administering medication had undertaken appropriate training. All residents who were spoken with said that they were well looked after and that the staff treated them well. One said they are so kind. Residents said that staff were attentive and that they usually had the care when needed. Staff were seen treating residents respectfully, patiently and good humouredly. One resident had the use of bed rails to prevent them falling out of bed, but there were no bumpers attached This potentially put the resident at risk from limb entrapment. This was rectified during our visit Care Homes for Older People Page 13 of 27 Daily life and social activities These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: Each person is treated as an individual and the care home is responsive to his or her race, culture, religion, age, disability, gender and sexual orientation. They are part of their local community. The care home supports people to follow personal interests and activities. People are able to keep in touch with family, friends and representatives. They are as independent as they can be, lead their chosen lifestyle and have the opportunity to make the most of their abilities. People have nutritious and attractive meals and snacks, at a time and place to suit them. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Social activities provide daily variation and interest for people living in the home. The dietary needs of the residents were well catered for with a balanced and varied selection of food being served. Evidence: The residents involvement in social activities varies greatly according to their abilities and needs. Some of the residents spoken to preferred to stay in their own bedrooms and enjoyed reading, listening to music and watching the television. The home has a very pleasant friendly atmosphere. The newly appointed activities person has given thought to arranging social activities to suit individual needs and preferences. Social needs are assessed in detail when a resident is admitted and residents spoken with were pleased with the programme of social events. A discussion with the residents and care staff confirmed that the residents were able to receive visitors in private and that they were able to choose whom they see and do not see. Visitors can be seen in the privacy of the residents bedroom although many choose to Care Homes for Older People Page 14 of 27 Evidence: sit in one of the communal areas. Residents are encouraged to bring personal possessions into the home. Many of their bedrooms were highly personalised with small pieces of their own furniture, pictures, photographs and ornaments. We did not dine with the residents but observed breakfast and lunch being served in the dining rooms. The meals served were of ample portion and looked appetising. The tables were nicely set with napkins, cruets and cold drinks. Staff discreetly assisted some residents to eat. There was always a choice of meal at lunchtime and evening. The menus were inspected and they looked varied and nutritious. Mid-morning and mid-afternoon drinks were served and milky drinks were provided at supper time. A discussion with the residents showed that they were very happy with the choice and quality of the food provided. Care Homes for Older People Page 15 of 27 Complaints and protection These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience.

The complaint log was seen and complaints recorded. All of these complaints appeared to have been dealt with satisfactorily The Care Quality Commission has not received any complaints about the home. The policy and procedure used by the home for the Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) was the Lancashire Inter- agency procedure. A whistle-blowing procedure was also in place and staff interviewed showed their understanding of it. The manager knew and understood the reporting procedure, which he had appropriately used in the past. Some staff had received POVA training and dates have been confirmed for the remainder. The owner and two senior staff have attended the training provided by the Local Authority in relation to the Mental Capacity Act and the Deprivation of Liberty. The owner is aware of his responsibilities and confirmed that there had been no Care Homes for Older People Page 16 of 27 Evidence: applications made in respect of the deprivation of liberty of any individual living at the home Questionnaires had been distributed to relatives and residents, collected and evaluated to help improve the service.
